Week 3, Brady Is BACK!!!

This is brought to you by: The Pizzaria! It's a pizza place where you make your own pie! We give you the dough, the sauce, the cheese....you pound it, slap it, you flip it up into the air.... you put your toppings on and you slide it into the oven! Minutes later, you have your very own pie! Made from your very own hands!

Andy's team sure showed up big this week. He outscored everyone and won the $25 bounty on the week. Lowest scorer was Trevor and he is now eliminated from the eliminator challenge. Only 10 teams left!

I put together some stats to show us how many fantasy points have been scored each of the first 5 weeks of the last 3 seasons. And I found this out. Here was our league's average over Week 1 
WEEK 1
2014 - 162
2015 - 166
2016 - 178
2017 - 146

So you can see that we had a upward trend going from 2014-2016. But we fell well shy of the average line this year. We actually had the 2nd worst fantasy week that I have ever seen. ... So now lets see how Week 2 lines up.
WEEK 2
2014 - 143
2015 - 159
2016 - 163
2017 - 152

So once again you see that we had a upward trend going and once again this year was below average.... I am showing you guys this because I could tell that we have not been scoring as much as we have in the past. So if you think your team is under performing then just hold off and wait a bit, be patient. Averages will pan out and I suspect our league to have a better then average week coming up. So keep your heads up!

Power Rankings
#1 Eric
2-0  965
The team to beat in are league ever since it's creation has been Eric. He is a fantasy football guru. Back to back championships and still has the #1 power ranking based on the formula I use. Eric is one tough opponent to beat. His team this year is already looking spectacular. His top 6 has to be the toughest in the league. Aaron Rodgers, Gurley, Montgomery, Antonio Brown, Hopkins and Ertz. Now it is looking like Carson for Seahawks could be the starting RB now so that gives Eric another starting RB. So once again Eric is looking like the team to beat. 
Gold Standard Players
Ty Montgomery  27.1
Todd Gurley  27.1
Aaron Rodgers  25.0
Rams D  23.8
Antonio Brown  21.2

#2 Derek
2-0  880
One of our new owners, Derek has hit the ground running. He was very active in trades in the off season and now has one of the most exciting players in the league in Kareem Hunt. But unfortunately for Derek, he got a few key injury's last week to his team that could end up hurting him this week vs Matt. Prescott, Jordy Nelson and Rob Kelley all got banged up a bit and will have to wait further along in the week to see if they are a go for Sunday. Derek will hope that once again Kareem Hunt can explode for another big game to get him to 3-0. But as it sits right now. Derek has a 80% chance of making the playoffs. 
Gold Standard Players
Kareem Hunt  40.3
Dak Prescott  23.6


#3 JR  
2-0  863
What a beautiful start to the season for JR. Not even scored 150 in a week yet and stands at 2-0. Lucky Bastard lol. JR has a good team lead by Brees, Elliott, Baldwin and Kelce. But what JR has done the absolute best at so far is streaming his Defense's. He picked Steelers in Week 1 who got 22 points and then picked up Buccaneers for Week 2 who also got him 22 points. He will be playing the Vikings D this week, so expect them to also get 22. But as it looks after just 2 weeks. JR has a 20% chance of not making the playoffs.... Mark Ingram has been a pleasant surprise I would say. Wracking up 13 points in back to back games. I really thought he would have trouble getting double digits. I have been proven wrong.
Gold Standard Players
Brees  26.5
Buccaneers  22.7
JJ Nelson  20.2


#4 Andy  
1-1  855
Congrats to Detective Andy for winning the $25 bounty. Andy probably could not feel any better about his team. After winning the $25 bounty most people have to feel pretty damn good about there team. Led by Crabtree's 3 TD's. Andy was the only team to score over 200 on the week and now has most points scored on the season for a week. And let me remind you all that he scored the most points without his #1 pick Bell even  going over 20. Andy has a pretty solid team from top to bottom. I suspect he will be a hard team to beat week in and week out. Better bring your A game when your playing the NYC Cruzin with Carr team. Andy has a 50% chance of making the playoffs with a record of 1-1.
Gold Standard Players
CJ Anderson  26.1
Derek Carr  25.9
Michael Crabree  23.2
Jay Cutler  18.7



#5  Scott
1-1  833
Our 2nd place team from last year is Scott who is right in the middle of the road this year. Lead by Cam Newton who has been under performing so far by scoring 18 and 12 in his first 2 games. Luckily for Scott he played Chris in week one. Everyone beats Chris in week one. But week 2 was much tougher match vs the high powered scoring Andy Snider. Scott still would of beat 6 other teams in the league so he should be feeling pretty good about his team. 
Gold Standard Players
DeVonta Freeman  21.1
Kyle Rudolph  20.1
Broncos D  19.0


#6 Chris
1-1  816
Brady is back!!! It sure is nice owning the highest player in any week. This week that guy was owned by me lol. Brady had 3 TD's in first quarter for the first time in his long career. Lets hope he does it every week....Already active on the trading scene. Chris was trying to get rid of James White last week so he did not own 4 Patriots. He offered him to Brandon for David Johnson and to Nathan for TY Hilton. Both understandably declined. And that was lucky for Chris's team since he got Alshon Jeffrey who scored 22 and helped Chris get his first victory in the first 2 weeks of the season in the last 3 years. But James White also scored 18 and looks to be a key ingredient in that patriots offense. Did Brandon and Nathan let one slip away??? Time will tell. 
Gold Standard Players
Tom Brady  26.0
Leonard Fournett  23.3
Jaguars D  19.5



#7  Brian

1-1  749
With 3 gold standard players in Rivers, Ajayi and Hyde. Brian got his first win over Todd...... Brian had a pretty rough first week as he was the lowest scorer in the league. But he quickly turned it around by putting up 165 points..... Brian will try to get a winning streak going vs Brandon who has not yet one a game in this league yet. But Brian also has a few injury's to some key guys. Jimmy Graham and T.West are banged up but both hoping to still possibly play this week. Graham is looking more on the doubtful side actually. Brian doesn't hesitate much when it comes to needing to do a trade. So look for him to be active on the trading wire this week. 
Gold Standard Players
Philip Rivers  25.0
Jay Ajayi  23.2
Carlos Hyde  19.4


#8  Todd
1-1  745
One of the hardest owners to beat in this league. Todd still has a 50% chance of making the playoffs with a 1-1 record.... He played the wrong TE and Def but in the end it still would not of made a difference. But it sure has to be a nice feeling owning Jason Witten who Todd knows will play week in and week out. And for Witten to hall in 10 catches on 13 targets makes him a super threat over there in Dallas. Look for Todd to either play 2 TE's or sit Eifert because Witten just earned his starting role for the weeks to come..... This week Todd faces Chris(me) and will look to go to improve to 2-1 were 64% of the teams have made the playoffs with that record. 
Gold Standard Players
Jason Witten  22.3
Marcus Marriota  21.8
LeSean McCoy  20.5


#9 Matt
1-1  660
In Week 3 we have new owner vs new owner. But the edge would have to go to Derek who is 2-0. But Matt will give him a run for his money. One reason I think so is because Kareem Hunt can not keep up this great play. Or can he? Matt will certainly hope not..... Matt has some low projections this week but adding Stafford over Winston will improve that a tad.... And also adding Cohen via trade looks to be a nice move as Howard looks to have gotten injured in week 2.
 Gold Standard Players
Matt Stafford  25.2
Ravens D  24.6
Mike Evans  22.3
Tarik Cohen  20.3


#10  Brandon
0-2  594
Rough start for our 3rd new owner. He only has 2 gold standard players and they both are QB's But losing 2 key guys in week one is a very tough blow to take. A win might not come easy for Brandon in the coming weeks. But on a high note. Brandon would have beaten 7 other teams in our league this week. He just happen to be playing against the second highest scoring team this week. With David Johnson and Allen Robinson both being out, Brandon did really well. I mean who could lose there 1st overall pick in a draft and one of there top WR's and still have a chance to win. BRANDON CAN! 
Gold Standard Players
Ben Roethlisburger  23.2
Russell Wilson  22.1



#11  Trevor
0-2  574
Lead by Tyreke Hill, Trevor has struggled so far early in the season. Might just not be the year for the Scott brothers. It is time for one of them to bust out of there shell this week. Could it be Trevor?!?! I think it could be. He plays JR who has won both his matches by scoring 148 and 146. If Trevor can get to 150 then it appears he has a chance. But do not and I can not stress this enough. DO NOT, forget to make some trade offers if you feel your team needs improvement. You got this Trevor! I know you can turn this team around. 
Gold Standard Players
Tyreke Hill  19.2


#12 Nathan
0-2  549
Rough start for this team. Lost his stud TE Greg Olsen for up to 8 weeks. So look for Nate to use his waiver on Ben Watson of the Ravens who just had 8 catches and a great game in that throw heavy offense. .... Nate might be siting 0-2 and feeling unlucky but he just missed being eliminated in the eliminator challenge by 3.2 points so that's kind of lucky. Nate will be looking a little harder this week to sell on his Colts WR's. If you don't sell them low now then you probably wont ever get anything for them. Time to cut ties with those Colts Nate Dog!

Melvin Gordon  22.6
